Average White Band is coming to the Robins Theatre

Average White Band is coming to the Robins Theatre in downtown Warren, Ohio on Saturday, November 4, 2023 at 8 p.m. Doors will open at 7 p.m.

Tickets range between $35 – $55 plus applicable fees. All tickets are reserved seating.

Tickets will go on sale on Friday, May 12 at 10 a.m. Tickets will be available for purchase at www.robinstheatre.com and at the Robins Theatre Box Office located at 160 E. Market St., Warren, Ohio. The Box Office is open Wednesday through Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m.

There will be a presale on Thursday, May 11 at 10 a.m. This presale is accessible to “Friends of the Robins Theatre” only. Information regarding “Friends of the Robins Theatre” memberships can be found at www.robinstheatre.com and at the Robins Theatre Box Office.

Regarded as one of the top Soul, R & B, and Jazz-Funk groups, and first known for the timeless instrumental hit ‘Pick Up the Pieces,’ the band’s future would lie in its diverse songwriting and unique approach to rhythm & blues. With multiple gold and platinum albums and three Grammy nominations on the legendary Atlantic label, they were the first Brits to simultaneously top the US Top 100 Singles, Albums and R&B charts, before going on to similar UK and international honors.

Ironically, given their Scottish roots, the six-piece took the instrumental cues of US Jazz giants Adderley, Hancock, Sample, Shorter & co., and the soulful influences of Marvin Gaye, James Brown, Al Green, and Stevie Wonder, et al., to create their own authentic R & B blend, which, with the tongue-in-cheek name, happily surprised both black and white audiences alike. This uncanny paradox led to AWB’s early inclusion on Soul Train where their two famed appearances are still much viewed; doubtless it was partly why the music was featured in so many big movies: Swingers, Private Parts, Superman 2, Starsky & Hutch etc., to name but a few standouts.

While ensuing singles, ‘Cut The Cake, Queen Of My Soul,’ ‘Walk On By,’ ‘Atlantic Avenue’ and ‘Let’s Go Round Again’ had major chart action around the world, album cuts such as ‘Schoolboy Crush,’ ‘Person To Person’ and ‘I’m The One’ are still hailed as ‘essential’ grooves. Fast-forward two decades, and AWB’s unlikely contribution to Hip-Hop, Rap, and modern R&B was sealed by the massive use of their samples, from Erik B & Rakim, through TLC, Ice-Cube, Tribe Called Quest, Leena Conquest, P-Diddy, Mark Ronson et al – right up to Rick Ross (Rich is Gangsta’) today.

Throughout, ballads such as ‘A Love Of Your Own,’ ‘Cloudy’ and ‘If I Ever Lose This Heaven’ would stand out as some of the finest soul tracks ever recorded. AWB’s most recent release is 2018’s Inside Out a collection of all new studio tracks and versions of AWB favorites recorded live with a five-piece horn section.

The Average White Band – with Scots originals Alan Gorrie (vocals, bass, gtr.) and Onnie McIntyre (guitar) – alongside US heavies Freddy V. (tenor sax), Cliff Lyons (alto sax), Rob Aries (keys, bass), Rocky Bryant (drums), and Brent Carter (vocals), continues its deserved place at the pinnacle of live soul & funk music to the delight of widely eclectic and multi-generational audiences everywhere.
